Little Squares:

Great Shakes in Palm Springs: huge thumbs up (especially because they had a dairy-free shake for yours truly!) Also, TKB (The Kid Business) was outstanding. And their story is even better. Also, King's Highway at The Ace Hotel has been a slam dunk every time. *the more you know* 💫 #palmsprings #foodie #greatshakes

Gerald and ToonTown. (Their current nicknames out of dozens 🙈). #morriscrewinca #rooandlittlejo #sandiego

I'm going to miss these San Diego nights. One week left before the next leg of our life adventure! 🌅 #sandiego #seaportvillage #morriscrewinca

How can you go to The Ace and not? 😎🙈 #morriscrewinca #acehotel #palmsprings

I wonder if this will always happen in the chaos and speed of life? But so far, every time Rowdy's birthday has inched closer, without even trying, flashbacks of that week come to mind. This day, three years ago, we walked the Rio lake oooone more time. We had fajitas ooooone more time. I told him I was starting to think this baby was NEVER going to come. He tried to keep me from getting discouraged but could hardly stand his own excitement to see his first son. We talked about any other labor starter options ("We have tried everything!" 😩) It's fun that he was the one. You know? He's the one who knows because he waited too. He walked with me too. He tried to start labor too. He got excited about early contractions too. He got bummed when they stopped too. It's not just "Oh, I like your personality!" (which I do), it's also: you have DONE things with me. Together we know. And only we know what it was like to be the waiting-parents of Rowdy Neil Morris. The "shared" part of life with your person gets me. And I can't help but reflect on those conversations, and experiments, and frustrations, and uncontainable anticipation we shared together those final days. #calebwithkristen #morriscrewinca pc: @ally_michele

Little Sentences:

"I've had it with you and your emotional constipation!" - Tantor from Tarzan 😂

"And where was I before the dayThat I first saw your lovely face?Now I see it everyday"

"And I knowThat I am...The luckiest"

I keep typing and then backspacing this first line. I don't even know how to sum up this whole weekend.

It was just lovely and joyful and so, so romantic. Heather and her friends are beautiful women - and they all love Heather so much. Seeing these girls rally around her made me so excited for me friends when they get married! I hope that I can be like Heather's friends are!The day went off perfectly (actually, that would be a lie - there was a big bustling disaster but it did get worked out haha - other than that the whole day went perfectly!). For months the weekends have been beautiful in Atlanta, however, everyone was worried as the weather forecast called for 3 straight days of rain. It rained the night of the rehearsal, it rained wedding morning - but in the afternoon it all came to a halt and Heather had the outdoor wedding she had dreamed of. And it was spectacular!

But, lets start at the very beginning...

You might remember the flower girl this post back in the fall - her mom recommnded me to Heather after their family shoot. Three cheers for Jess and the Smart family!

The ringbearers had Braves flatbills and Vans - SO adorable!

The difference between girls.....

and guys.... :)

I love the vintage feel in both of these

And the stunning bride, of course!

Heather and her dad have such a good relationship - which made for some very sweet moments on wedding day!

Heather's older brother and and performed a beautiful song specifically for the bride and groom

It was very, very touching - he did an excellent job!

Best part of the wedding! Woot woot!

All of the girls were so excited after the recessional - it was adorable!

This is the awesomely huge bridal party! Heather and Mike have wonderful friends - I couldn't speak more highly of them :)

Of all the pictures, I think these sum Heather and Mike up the best haha

And I couldn't resist one more "daddy-daughter" moment :)

Heather and Mike ended the night by dancing under the stars all alone. Their friends watched from a distance, Ben Folds sang "I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you..." and it was the PERfect end to the fun, romantic day :)
